There are tips out there to have 2-3 pairs of shoes and rotate between them since the downtime for airing out lets them last longer, apparently. (Not sure if that also includes the soles. Soles can be replaced if the quality is there though

Even if you have a few callsites and just copy-paste the same function it can be readable - I've heard that called un-cooked spaghetti code. Everything is still nicely layed out and can be refactored without too much trouble if you so

We tried waiting, it didn't work. We're just starting to try more things. Society appears to be too slow to fix this. Hell, people buy new SUVs far bigger than they have any use for and tell us they need it while the politicians

I really wish the train network was working better Europe-wide. Maybe there should be a EU train company that integrates the national ones. The network should be able to substitute as many flights as possible. Right now, even buying tickets

Then they only do these things when they're open (although you can return cars at all times), so too early, too late or Sundays are out. They also only have one location in the city where you can get cars, and it's usually much fu

Wow, that's not cheap (normal price of £32 per month, currently on offer for £24 per month). Is there support from the healthcare system or do you have to pay everything yourselves?

You'd think, but it's also close to the sea and that gives you strong winds regularly. The effect on riding difficulty is about the same. Contrary to a slope the wind can also hinder you on the way there and on the way back (whe

At that level of money state borders mean nothing since the additional cost for travel is not significant. The situation would not change a lot for people if the only place the treatment was available was eg India.

You mean like driving by people taking a stroll in the city or passing a whole front of houses where people chill in their rooms with the windows open for airflow? As in, the whole city. It's an unfortunate trade-off and we should shou

You can use the normal horn in a friendly way. It's hard to put my finger on exactly what is different, maybe timing? For example, very short honks can be friendly.

The tram bell is one of the more horrifying sounds you can hear on the road though. Basically, get out of the way or get hit, since it can neither evade nor stop fast.

I feel like the community is slowly (edit: actually, not that slowly) changing their opinion. We were far to optimistic in our belief in the politicians. All but the worst of the current IPCC scenarios require some sort of carbon capture ev

Yes, it can house more people, but you can also demand a lot more for the same area in smaller units, so rent per square metre goes up.

I don't think they're going to move that easily. Rent has been going so much it is eating a larger income share than before for many of them too. So what that leaves you with is disproportionate increase of demand and prices for s

And I'm just starting to learn about the fact that the placement of landmasses massively influences the global climate. We're looking at a very different system here.
